Good post and point Chris.

The problem with boycotts though is that enough of the consumer base needs to engage in one. 4E D&D is released some fans called for one and motjing really happenrd imo. Yes 5E was released yet ut took awhile and it was released less as a result of a boycott and more to get market share back from Paizo.

The problem with our society is thst a very vocal minority were given too much power freely and too many companies bend ovef backwards to appease SJWs. Look at Marvel and DC. They catered to them while finding out thag most SJWs make a damn lot of noise. Yet do mot put money towards their causrs.

They kick up a fuss like a bunch of cats thrown into a pool. Then when they their way they go on to the next cayse to destroy. I do not know about DC yet Marvel is canceling their Woke comic titles one by one due to a lack of sales.

So beyond some exceptions fuck them all.

Marvel keeps cancelling and relaunching the same books many times with the same team.

And when they change teams the SJW doesn't get fired, they mostly fail upwards.

Quote from: GeekyBugle;1093800This could be a good thing for everybody except the woke morons with pitchforks.

If WotC fires Mearls
D&D goes into a purity spiral and goes to shit faster
Mearls can design, write and self-publish his own shit, if it's good he'll make money
Small publishers, both inside and outside of the OSR have a golden opportunity to grow (Who is going to compete with them? Paizo? pft)
Privately owned companies are way less vulnerable to the demands of the mob with pitchforks
The woke morons will end up destitute since they eat their own (see the JK Rowlins recent "scandal")

As far as I can see this is full of Winning! for everybody but the woke brigade, so bring it on!
Hell I feel like making a fake account and go help stir them into a feeding frenzy, but I won't because I'm too lazy for that.

/totally agree.

I wonder if Mike Mearls will be banned from Garycon?

Sounds like a campaign needs to be started to make that happen

I hope I make it long enough to see the generation after the one currently growing up to rebel against this Woke bullshit so I can be a grouchy old man encouraging the youth to revolt against the 'woke'.

I appreciate the humor in this stuff, but I hate to see Mike become the lone scapegoat for all the SJW angst in the world.  I mean, why not gang up on Crawford, or anyone else at WOTC?  The last time Crawford passed gas, I'm sure it offended at least one oppressed SJW somewhere?

Desperation.  An honest look in the mirror was too horrible to contemplate.

Quote from: Steven Mitchell;1093819Desperation.  An honest look in the mirror was too horrible to contemplate.

And greed for power. To paraphrase: "Some people just want to watch the world burn."

Quote from: kythri;1093773Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.  Fuck Mearls.

ETA:  And fuck the Twatterverse/Twatterati doubly.

Absolutely!! Mearls deserves everything coming to him. It's popcorn munching time!

Quote from: Antiquation!;1093781I'm not sure whether I should be laughing or weeping.

Laughing! Not just because of Mearls ('cuz he's gonna do a genuflecting dance to the SJWs any second), but because you know Zak Sabbath and his lawyer are scraping that Twitter fest for more targets.

Let the imbecile brigade slander and libel him so more. More bodies for the pyre!!!

The meme kids are already on the move. It's mostly teenage boys (of all colors), but there are also teenage girls in a growing movement (as seen on YouTube and TikTok) and they're learning how to sharpen their talons very young.

But who knows what they'll be like at 25, and who knows what the children of Millennials will be like.

The answer is humans suck.

It's amazing looking at the history of our idiot species to see the most worthless, most heinous and most destructive are always touting their moral high ground...until they are brought down, usually at great cost to innocents.

The woke Millenials aren't reproducing in a biological manner, only danger is the next generations being indoctrinated in the indoctrination system.

Puritans and Zealots are usually the ones with the biggest skeletons in their closet.

These people are mentally ill.   One bitches about Gygax.  What did he supposedly do? Not fly a rainbow flag?
One even likes 4E.   Nuts.

I am genuinely torn.  Mike was responsible for the two worst versions of DnD and on the other hand I do like to punch Nazis.

Many "Nazis" where you are? I've never saw one in person.
